The Cluny Craft Market

Today was the Newcastle Craft Mafia's first Craft Market at The Cluny. It was also my first ever craft fair! It was so much fun, tiring though as I had to get the bus through with all my stuff as the damn trains dont run at normal times on a Sunday haha!

It was great to meet some of the other member's from our group, and to see what cool things they make.
I sold 6 things woohoo!!! I wasnt even expecting to sell anything haha, so it was a pleasant surprise :) I also bought two things, one of which was a gorgeous button bracelet from Nuada Accessories and the other a super cute felt milk bottle magnet from Giant Button . I wanted so many things but I didnt have much money on me so Ill wait till next time to buy more goodies!

Here is some pictures of my stall/table, and some shots of the market in action:-



It wasnt very busy but I think the more we do it and the more people here about it we will get more visitors :) I have decided that although my fabric for my table super funky and colourful, I felt that it ditracted from the necklaces I had lying on it. Hmm, so now Im thinking, either choose a plain fabric *cries* lol, or buy some sort of necklace board to hang them on....

I also need to get my photos of all the new stock and hairclips taken asap so I can pop them on the website, since its looking abit bare, oops!

  1. lol!

    A pretty but plain piece of material that compliments the colours of the jewellery would make them stand out more.

    Congrats on selling some pieces :)

  7. I would have to say the same thing as Jewel Divas, next time pick a plain colour for the table cloth.
    Also I think you should hang some more on a jewelery holder (like those earrings shown in the pics)
    Well done selling 6 things !!
